No

Depends what the TC is...how much stock?

American Express manz26 OP Sep 8, 2018

170k base + 12% bonus + match stock that I will lose from current employer (65k). No new stock for next year.

Then yes, it does seem on the low side for YOE

Complete breakdown of TC??

Microsoft NoNamex Sep 7, 2018

Yes Assuming other benefits are in line

Microsoft 10.0.0.1 Sep 7, 2018

Low ball

Nielsen CClA23 Sep 7, 2018

If that's salary, yes that's good so long as it is accompanied by a Fintech grade bonus. You will likely be working your butt off and it'll likely show in your bonus.

No it's not because fintech is beyond its heydays- salaries are way lesser than FANG

Microsoft NoNamex Sep 7, 2018

So for fintech it’s good. You seem to not understand the question. Either way, not true unless we’re talking a Principal role or better.

Nielsen CClA23 Sep 7, 2018

Salaries are not way lesser than fang unless in software engineering where it's just about equal. As a quant, you're almost promised a significantly higher tc than anywhere else in the world.

Need to see TC, base alone is OKish
